Deep Persian Carpet Red. Intense black berry and cherry flavours with hints of cigar box. A whiff of dried fynbos adds depth and dimension to this full circle Bordeaux blend. Secondary aromas of tobacco and pencil shavings with subtle wood nuances capture the palate. Firm yet developed tannins uphold the structure and balance between these five varietals, creating harmony and everlasting flavours.
